Summary
Ben Spencer is a results-driven global customer manager with 15+ years of automotive OEM account leadership and an engineering foundation from Michigan State University. He has managed $400M+ portfolios and led cross-functional teams across program management, product development, and supply chain to position suppliers as preferred partners to OEMs like GM, Stellantis, and EU manufacturers. Having worked on both supplier and OEM sides—including hands-on roles in tire and wheel systems, inflator kits, and plant quality—he blends technical rigor with commercial acumen to solve complex, cross-border program challenges. Known for collaborative leadership and negotiated wins, he recently transitioned to Bose to expand its GM relationship after nearly a decade driving OEM strategy at Goodyear. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate vehicle-level engineering constraints into commercially viable supplier solutions, accelerating time-to-market while protecting margin.
